@cstross There's a moment in one of the Princes In Amber series where Corwin remarks, "I've pissed on my own grave, I can hardly pass up a chance to light a candle to myself in my own church", which was - Zelazny's gift as a writer - absolutely perfect for that character. You've reminded me of that passage; there might be nothing more perfect for The Stainless Steel Rat than heisting his own museum.
